ATEX Load Cell – Certified Weighing Sensor for Hazardous Environments

Safe & Reliable Load Cells for Explosive Atmospheres

An ATEX load cell is a specialized weighing sensor designed and certified for use in explosive or hazardous environments, where gases, vapors, or dusts could pose ignition risks. Built to meet stringent ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU) standards, these load cells deliver accurate, reliable performance while ensuring compliance with international safety regulations.

At Sensors and Gauges, we supply ATEX-certified load cells across Australia, calibrated to ISO standards and supported locally for industries where safety and compliance are non-negotiable.
